Oh no! Hmm... I'd forgotten all about the weight on my driver's license. I don't think it's been changed since, well, high school. Yikes. some food for thought before my next renewal! What nerve that guy had!

Quirky,
That's terrible. I actually just went and looked at my DL and there is no listing of a weight. I believe there was on my IL license from what I can remember, but not here. We don't even have eye color listed! Just height, birthday, and any restrictions. Of course, this
is Florida. Hmmmm...

Oh, I dread that experience. Luckily the at least pretend to believe me every time.
MayB- I assume they need it just because it is part of your personal info. If something should happen to you, the more info they have the easier it would be to indentify you. Also if you should break the law, it's easier to find you.

That dirty lout. You handled it with the class you always show....At least you own great bazombas. Can you imagine if we had to include our bra size on the driver's license..."Ah, Miss. Those look smaller than a 34 B." And yeah, I can go braless on a camel, buddy...How humiliating. You wrote this well.

The best thing SC did was put a courtesy desk in the DMV.
That way, you know before you ever wait in line exactly what you need to have before getting rejected.
As to the weight thing, I can't imagine what the deal is with that. Although I do know that the first time I grew a beard, I got my license renewed when it was about four months gone wild. Then I shaved it. The day I sahved it, I went to the bank to do something, showed my ID to the teller. She lookedat it, then me, then said, "Boy, your mother must be a hell of a lot happier."

Quirky...
I guess it's a chick thing...I can't really relate well to this post although I did find it entertaining and well written. I never did understand why women have such a hard time saying what they really weigh. If you're hot you're hot, regardless of how much you weigh. I think the whole women/weight thing probably began back in the early days of our species as just another tool used to befuddle and confuse men, it was simply transfered from generation to generation as time went on.

I just had the most horrible thought.....what if they start putting scales in those locations....actually, I wonder why they don't? They really should since they are supposed to actually be for identification; I mean, at least at some point they would have some basis in reality. OMG, I hope none of "them" reads this and gets any bright ideas....but, of course, then the truth would be out about
everyone and it might not be so bad.....
